Just thought I would tell you a few things about my ownership and a few jobs that are coming up that I really must do! I bought my 2008 Swing in November 2012 as a present to myself as I was just about leave the RAF after 37 years disloyal service! The Swing was pretty much immaculate having only one previous owner and covered just 2300 miles. The Swing is now showing 10450 miles and has been without doubt a trusty steed but now somewhat shabby - what a capable machine this is and wherever I go someone always favourably comments on it. But there are a few jobs that must be done. I really enjoy the bike and use it for commuting but unfortunately it is left outside all year.

Things to do1. Replace rear main brake pads.2. Replace both fork dust covers as they have split and metal showing inside is rusting.3. Get the wheels shot blasted and refinished - they are awful!4. Take drive cover of and clean - never been done.5. Air & Oil filter, plugs, oil and brake fluid.6. Attend a speed awareness course :-(

Check the key ignition switch,there is a post of a UK that left his swing on covered in the rain. The connectors at the switch had corroded so bad that they separated. There is a post with pics at the time that when I became a member 2011.

I'll have a look at that soonest. Just been working on a few things this evening. So done the air filter, plugs and rear pads. Note to self: must remove pad pin and lubricate often! (like the front). The screwed plug and pin were a sod to remove and were really corroded in, at one point I thought I was going to have to buy another calliper it was that difficult to remove. So going to try and finish off this week.
